189/365 - the vase perspective


It is one of those nights when on the way to bed I remember the 365 shot! There was pizza in the oven because that is when sons who work odd shifts eat their supper, but I knew if I posted another food shot there might be a comment from the peanut gallery (AKA another son) about so many food shots. So this vase in the hall, which should have been put away a week ago, did the trick for me.
And NOW I am going to bed.

186/365 Canadian Olympian Trainees

Yup! My theory on why Canadians did so well at the winter Olympics. They start young because what else can you do when there is all this snow and ice for 5 months of the year?

185/365 candle light

It is always beautiful and peaceful. I need to light my candles more often and not just when guests come over.

184/365 Flowers from my sweetheart.

I took a photo today of a droplet of water just about to fall off an icicle - it was a great shot. Then my sweetheart arrived home from work with these - just because. Of course they became my shot of the day.

182/365 Best Dentist

Wow - I am halfway through my 365 year in photos and haven't missed one - not even when I was sick and home recooping! Does that mean I am obsessed with this photography thing? maybe....

Today I had the pleasure of three hours at the dentists office. A cleaning and then three fillings. My teeth have been perfect for 40 years...it was the first decade of my life that I had bad habits. So today three of those old fillings were replaced with beautiful white ones. To think I am still paying today for laziness and treats so many years ago.

Now I say this was a pleasure, and really we all know a visit to the dentisit office is no pleasure, but I have to say Dr Piecowye is THE BEST dentist in the world. I never feel a thing  -not a thing - not even the freezing! And he keeps me distracted in conversation the whole time - one sided though because of that 'dam' thing in my mouth. Today's topic was boats - why staying in Saskatchewan and spending $20,000 on a boat was a great use of the recreational budget....except when you have to rewire the trailor all the time. It was all quite interesting and after the work was done, he took the 'dam' thing off and I announced I preferred an all inclusive in Mexico to camping and boating. I guess I am not your typical Saskatchewan gal - but it was educational none-the-less. And I suppose I was a captive audience.... where was I going to go?

Now if they can make those drills a lot quieter I could possibly fall asleep when I visit Dr. P.

And he is such a nice guy, he even let me take his photo!

181/365 Morning Moon

This was a showstopper this morning. Almost caused my sweetheart to rear-end me as we both drove down the street to work. I stopped for the photo, he drove around me - with a smile. I still met up with him at the coffee shop for a decaf on the go - he paid. Boy, I have it good!!

180/365 It must be March

I could hear the water dripping off the roof eaves today as the mounds of snow up there starts to melt. I heard birds outside my office window yesterday. Music to my ears. It is March and these are hints that spring is trying to come. We may still get a March blizzard, but April is only 4 1/2 weeks away.
..of course we have been known to have a blizzard in April too.
But today I am enjoying a clear, dry driveway, wet sidewalks and the drip, drip, drip of melting snow.
